[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a fan of bowser, but the NFL was always going to build a new stadium here. Get over it. It is what the city wants.

I live in the city and it's what I want. It's what all of my neighbors want. If you bought a house by RFK, get over it. You should have known.[/quote]

I live in the city, but not near RFK. Not sure those of us who don't live in the neighborhood should be telling the people who do live there to just get over it.[/quote]

If you are paying for it, you might want to have some input.[/quote]

Yes, my input has already been ignored, I don’t want the stadium and don’t want to pay for it. [/quote]

But the stadium will pay for itself! Unlike every other stadium in existence. At least the Potomac Yard debacle had a chance to make a profit with the associated entertainment district and gambling. None of that appears to be proposed here. You are getting a subsidized stadium with adjacent subsidized housing.[/quote]

Not to mention that the Commanders will pay no tax - corporate, property, or sales - to the District. Sales taxes will not be assessed on parking at the venue and sales taxes on everything else go right back into maintaining the stadium.

The one-sided nature of Bowser’s deal is truly remarkable. We expected something bad, but she truly outdid herself on this one.[/quote]
